The traditional method of brewing South Indian filter coffee involves a simple, stainless steel filter machine. The device consists of two chambers: the upper chamber holds the ground coffee, while the lower one collects the brewed coffee. Hot water is poured over the grounds, and the coffee slowly drips into the lower chamber, resulting in a strong, aromatic concoction. Many coffee enthusiasts set up the filter overnight, ensuring a fresh brew in the morning.

To prepare the coffee, this concentrated brew is mixed with warm milk and sugar. It is traditionally served in a small glass-like steel tumbler accompanied by a brass saucer, known as a 'dabara.' In a distinctive style, the coffee is poured back and forth between the tumbler and saucer to create a frothy texture before serving.

South Indian filter coffee's ranking reflects its cultural significance and wide popularity, both in India and globally. It stands among other international coffee favorites, such as Greece’s Espresso Freddo, Italian Cappuccino, and Turkish coffee. The drink's unique preparation and serving style, along with its bold flavor, have contributed to its rising recognition on the world stage.

TasteAtlas also listed other notable coffees, including Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Frappe from Greece, and Germany’s Eiskaffee. This diverse list showcases how coffee cultures around the world have developed unique brewing methods, with South Indian filter coffee now enjoying a spotlight among the world’s top beverages.
